- Synopsis
- Mata Hari The Naked Spy unravels the complex story of how Mata Hari became World War One’s most notorious spy. This is the first film to feature Mata Hari letters and photos which were kept secret for over 100 years! The letters, written before she became famous, reveal startling truths about her life. At the height of her fame, Mata Hari’s erotic dances packed theaters across Europe, and her image graced the cover of Vogue. Mata Hari was seeking sexual freedom, artistic expression and the right to control her own life -things that women today still strive for. Yet within a decade she was gunned down by a firing squad - convicted as a German agent. Was she a dangerous spy, whose boldness and sexuality threatened the establishment, or a victim entangled in a climate of blame as WWI dragged on?
